You may want to try REAL henna - fresh, body art quality henna -
which will give you deeper colour and healthier hair with each
application, which is so much better than dye. The bleached ends are
much more porous than the roots, so the henna will saturate them
better - the colour just may deepen in just a few applications. Just
my opinion...It's just SO much better to henna than dye...
